Crop Profitability Ranking: Every Crop in Grow a Garden 2, Ranked
Covers all 30 crops in Grow a Garden 2; ranks 21 with confirmed sell values and shop seed costs, sorted by profit (base sell value minus seed cost). Every sell value is sourced from the Site A calculator bundle and cross-checked against TheGamer and growagarden2wiki.net. No editorial guesswork — the table, the math, and the source conflicts are all in the open.
Methodology (transparent)
- Data source
data/crops.json(calc_sell_value_shecklesfield, extracted from the Site A calculator bundle).- Formula
profit = sell_value × weight² − seed_cost
Default weight = 1 kg for cross-crop comparison.- Confidence
- 18 of 21 ranked crops are cross_source_verified (Site A + TheGamer + growagarden2wiki.net agree within 5%). 3 crops carry a source-conflict note.
- Limitations
- Does not include mutation multipliers (see mutation research), and does not model the lifetime yield of multi-harvest crops. Use the calculator for those scenarios.

Top 5 — editor's analysis
The most profitable crop after seed cost. Bamboo is a Rare-rarity crop that nets 100¢ profit at 1 kg (sells 800¢ − seeds 700¢) (single harvest per plant). Seeds are obtainable from the shop for 700¢. At base weight this is a +14% margin against seed cost. Recommended for mid-game players transitioning to higher-rotation plots.
Second by computed profit — held back only by the top crop. Tulip is a Uncommon-rarity crop that nets 20¢ profit at 1 kg (sells 60¢ − seeds 40¢) (single harvest per plant). Seeds are obtainable from the shop for 40¢. At base weight this is a +50% margin against seed cost. Useful for early-game players learning the planting loop.
